Is it time for a better job? Is relocation required? No problem. You’ll stay loyal to your exciting mate or partner, but the two of you could get into all sorts of adventures. Don’t have an exciting mate or partner yet? Get started on the adventures, and you’ll have one soon. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) — You’re right, of course, but others don’t agree. Don’t bother trying to convince them with words. Behave admirably, and they’ll be persuaded by your actions. Be like John Wayne. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) - The people in positions of authority don’t seem to know what they’re doing. Communications between them are garbled. You can use this situation to your advantage. Quietly do what’s most effective, as only you know how. You’re a master at this. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 21) — Friends are a dime a dozen, but true love is more elusive, and your own true love may be in a bit of a snit. You’re very busy, but that’s no excuse. Make time for the one who didn’t ask you to—not verbally, at least. CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22) - An offer that seems too good to be true, is. Don’t say “yes” until you’ve done the homework. That means interrogating loved ones who’ve been there and done that. Put their experience to work for you. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)-A friend who’s having domestic troubles might turn to you for advice. You’d be wise not to say much. Instead, help your overintellectual buddy get some physical exercise. A workout at the gym will help put things in perspective. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) - You have a wish list, but don’t race out and get that stuff quite yet. If you can save up the money and pay cash, you’ll save a bundle in interest charges. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT 22) You’re usually a very good communicator, but one very attractive person could have you tongue-tied. Be a good listener instead. You’ll appear very intelligent—which, of course, you are. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) - Still having trouble taking action? Feel like you’re driving with the emergency brake on? That can be dangerous for your vehicle and/or your mental health, especially because you want to go fast. Can you figure out a way to release whatever’s slowing you down? SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) — There’s excitement in the air. Is it because of all the balls you’re juggling? You’re so popular, you’re in danger of being run ragged. It’s hard to turn down a friend, but you might have to do it for the sake of a loved one. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) — The others are spending so much time and energy bickering, they might not even notice you as you quietly advance your own agenda. Don’t be distracted. Stay on course. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) — Everything looks fine, but it’s not that easy. Complications lurk just beneath the surface. Delays in travel and communications are likely. Just pay attention. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) — Be careful if you go shopping now. You’re in an impulsive mood, and you know how you get when that happens. Don’t give your whole paycheck to a friend in need, either. Save enough for the rent. CONCERT REVIEW Bad Ronald not so good live BAD RONALD Live at Momentum ★ out of ☆☆☆☆☆ BY TUG BAKER THE GAMECOCK Do we really need yet another rap album about excessive drinking, smoking weed, having sex with multiple partners (i.e. “fucking mad bitches”) and running from the cops? According to Bad Ronald, the answer is yes, and they’re right. As base as these topics seem, they have a history in rap and will probably never fade out completely. We don’t need Bad Ronald, however, to make this album for us. There are plenty of talented rappers to do it. Bad Ronald comprises three MCs and a DJ from New York who have gotten overzealous about their self-titled debut. If you haven’t heard their new “hit” single, “Let’s Begin (Shoot the Shit),” you must not listen to Channel 93.5. Good for you. It’s the typical party anthem that the general public can’t seem to get enough of, and by “general public,” I mean middle-schoolers or their mental equivalents. The entire album follows suit. There are, of course, the obligatory tracks about the group’s prowess with the ladies. “Bad Idea,” “I Need Love,” “1st Time” and the wonderfully named “Popcorn Titties” feature the MCs taking turns recounting the tawdry tales of their numerous sexual encounters with groupies, friends’ mothers and prostitutes. But it doesn’t end there; the boys of Bad Ronald are so versatile, they also make up horrible rhymes about drug use (“Lost on Tour, “EZ Decision”). Perhaps the worst moments on the album are when the MCs try to sound wise in “Imagine” and “All A Dream.” I find it really hard to catch someone’s serious message about life when I just heard them say “bitch stole my Pumas while I was getting head.” Bad Ronald is just another crappy rap band being force-fed to the public by radio and MTV. They realize this, as they say in their song “Bank”: “I’m changing the station, but every song is the same... I tried it, I like it. It’s you I want to thank. Talk shit and crack jokes, I laugh all the way to the bank.” Bad Ronald is enough to make anyone long for Eminem. At least he raises real issues occasionally. And if you want to hear a real rap album about drugs, women and how cool the rapper thinks he is, put down that Bad Ronald CD and go pick up something by MC Paul Barman.
